Art Pants is a 365 day-long-daily-photography-challenge, featuring Will Roegge and Linhbergh Nguyen which was started on November 1st, 2009. Our goal is to each publish one photograph a day for an entire year. But different from usual "photo 365s" out there, we've set ourselves a rules to abide by throughout the year:
1. No photos of anything automobile related
2. No self portraits.
Both of those rules are there to prevent us from going the easy route on taking our daily photos, or in other words, to use a crutch. The purpose of this project is to make the both of us think outside of our usual subjects and expand our creative defaults. The harder we make it upon ourselves, the better off we'll be creatively (or so we hope so!) come Novemeber 1st 2010.
We'll also be having different 'theme weeks' throughout the year. These themes could range from different subject matters; places, portraits, grass, sunrises, landscapes, faces, etc, etc. Or it could even be a technical theme; biggest aperature, smallest aperature, slow shutter speeds, 35mm film, camera phone fast action, etc....
We would love to hear your input throughout the course of the year. If you have ANY ideas for theme weeks or shots you'd like to see, let us know!
Oh, we both love black coffee and we both love Art Pants.
How early did we, as a species, come up with the concept of ‘art’ and ‘color’ to the point where we always look towards a setting sun with such majesty and awe? I’m sure we’ll never find out… but I do have to say that the sunsets as of late in southern california have been...
I’ve fallen in love with 35mm film all over again… ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!

During the day, I work in an architecture firm as a graphic designer/marketing/all around art dude. On occasion, I have the opportunity to photograph some of our projects. This is one of them. It’s a house right next to the beach, must be nice, right? Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
It’s strange how the best part of hurrying to go to the beach is to go and slow down… Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
The past few days in Southern California have been absolutely gorgeous. We’ve been blessed with temperature in the floating around 80°F, and the beach today was especially gorgeous. The seas were calm, the clouds were perfect, and there was a light breeze in the air. It felt like the perfect summer day but in the...
Day #49 – El Porto, California. Long Exposure. Thirty seconds at f22. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
As an out-of-towner, you’d think downtown Los Angeles is where the night life is, but it actually is relatively quiet on a Friday night… A bit strange, is it not? Like this photo! NEVERMIND!

Today’s abstraction piece is a bit on the borderline here. There’s a sense of abstraction, but the objects within the frame are completely identifiable. The American artist whom I’ve referenced to before, Jasper Johns, is also another great reference for this sixth day of abstract ‘pantsing. He mixed abstract expressionist brush strokes with found objects...

The more I do street photography, the more I realize that I need a telephoto lens. Christmas is coming real soon, and I think I’ve been a good boy this year, Santa! So, how about a nice telephoto in my stocking? Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
